This was the first time we had used the spaciousness of our new venue to full advantage and feedback so far suggests it was a success. We had three workshops running at the same time, led by experienced members from within CoL&CPS. After about forty minutes, participants were able to choose a different corner and we squeezed in a third go after the break, though now we think each workshop deserved extra time, so two may be enough.Bill and Jools talked about competition entry and demonstrated cutting and mounting prints. In another corner, Terry Fallis talked us through using different software, methods and paper to produce great black and white results. And David Southcott took on the task of discussing efficient workflow options, including some basic LightRoom tips, to get images from the camera into print or on screen. There was a real buzz in the room and we need to know now what other topics members would like to be covered in the next round of workshops - so let us know!
